âTeaching of the Twelve Apostles, â also known as the Didache, is an early Christian treatise of uncertain date. Recently discovered and published by Philotheos Bryennios, Metropolitan of Nicomedia, this edition offers an English translation of the foundational text, providing invaluable insights into the beliefs and practices of the early Church. The work covers Christian ethics, ritual practices such as baptism and Eucharist, and Church organization. Its teachings reflect the moral and liturgical life of the Christian community in the period following the apostles.
This edition includes the original Greek text alongside the English translation, making it an essential resource for scholars, theologians, and anyone interested in the historical roots of Christian faith. The Didache offers a unique window into the development of Christian doctrine and practice, providing a direct link to the teachings of the apostles themselves.
